Virtual Private Clouds

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to define a virtual network
in your own logically
isolated area within the AWS cloud, known as a virtual private cloud (VPC).
You can launch your Amazon EC2 resources, such as instances, into the subnets of
your VPC.
Your VPC closely resembles a traditional network that you might operate in your
own
data center, with the benefits of using scalable infrastructure from AWS. You can
configure your VPC; you can select its IP address range, create subnets, and configure
route tables, network gateways, and security settings. You can connect instances
in
your VPC to the internet or to your own data center.

When you create your AWS account, we create a default VPC for you in
each region. A default VPC is a VPC that is already configured and ready for you
to use. You
can launch instances into your default VPC immediately. Alternatively, you can create
your
own nondefault VPC and configure it as you need.

If you created your AWS account before 2013-12-04, you might have support for the
EC2-Classic platform in some regions. If you created your AWS account after 2013-12-04,
it
does not support EC2-Classic, so you must launch your resources in a VPC. For more
information, see EC2-Classic.
